This is a very historic artefact. Back in the old days of 830ba76c3e when we had macros to add arguments onto qemu command line (!) we thought it was a good idea to let qemu write out the PID file. So we passed -pidfile $stateDir/$domName onto the command line. Thus, in order for tests to work we needed stable stateDir in the qemu driver. Unfortunately, after 16efa11aa696 where stateDir is mkdtemp()-d, this approach lead to a leak of temp dir. Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
